Fresh ginger awakens the flavors of this irresistible chutney made with scallions, herbs, yogurt, jalapeno and lime juice. An essential condiment in Indian cooking, chutneys are an easy way to brighten up meals.
With the machine running, drop ginger into the bowl of a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add scallions, mint, cilantro, yogurt, jalapeno, lime juice, and salt. Process to a textured paste similar in consistency to pesto, adding water to adjust the consistency, if desired.
Cook's Note: This chutney's also great with grilled lamb and chicken, and super as a spread for sandwiches, rice crackers, or crispy Indian pappadam.
